The Monster Inside Avoidance: Trauma Lessons From Stranger Things

🚨 SPOILER ALERT 🚨
If you haven’t finished the latest Stranger Things finale, this episode will spoil it.

In this episode of Deciphering Growth, Tiffany Graves and Eric Stone go full nerd mode to unpack Stranger Things through a trauma-informed lens: nostalgia as comfort, why some wounds get processed (and some mutate), and what
Vecna represents when pain gets intellectualized instead of healed.
